Ralph said...: The red sign lettering really makes us pay attention as it sits in a more subtle hedgerow of trees...The falling leaves are a nice touch on Tuesday, little rubies falling on each other making a soft bed on the ground...; June 9, 2009 9:35 AM

storyteller said...: I'm glad Annie Googled Petanque so I didn't have to! LOL Actually MY association to 'playing with time' comes when I visit your blog and see FALL photos just as Spring turns to Summer here in So Cal. Blogging makes the world so much more intimate and raises my awareness. I do LOVE this photo ... the colors ... the trees in a line ... and, of course, the red sign.
Hugs and blessings,; June 10, 2009 3:01 AM
